I finally got around to hanging up some frames today on one of our blank living room walls. I have been thinking about doing this for quite some time and started collecting frames a few months ago. I could still use a few more nice, ornamental frames, but I think the project is off to a good start. I found this guide on Pinterest, which was really helpful. I ended up going with #4, Line Up. I really, really like the way it turned out.
Unfortunately, this whole process led me to a (potentially) terrible discovery. Our "real" (from film) photos from our Paris honeymoon are missing. ACK!!!! Once we got all of the frames up on the wall, I started filling them with pictures I had picked out. Like I said, I've been thinking about this photo wall for a while now, and I had some photos in mind that I knew I wanted to put up. I also ordered a print from Etsy to include. As I was doing this, I asked Ben to hand me our Paris photos. He didn't see them on the bookshelf, so I went to grab them. I was sure he had just overlooked them. Nope, not there. We are talking 10-12 packs of photos with the negatives. Not a super small thing that would easily be misplaced. We went through the entire bookshelf, taking every single book out, looking behind, on top of, underneath - no pictures. We then proceeded to search the entire house. Still no luck. We'll look again tomorrow. Fingers and toes crossed that they turn up. I have this distant memory of me telling Ben "I'm going to stick these pictures _______, so don't let me forgot where they are". I don't know if that actually happened or if I'm imagining it though. It feels like I'm going to remember where they are any second now..... I hate this feeling! It's driving me crazy. It's like when you can't remember someone's name, but it's on the tip of your tongue. I'm so glad we have a lot of digital photos from the trip. Still though, there is something really special about the film photos and I will be sad if we can't find them.

Just for fun, here I am with one of the chicks! Can you tell I don't really like to hold them? It makes me nervous when they start flapping their wings. They are getting feisty!
